notes
The hook is a single monosynth voice with pulse-width modulation for movement, a light resonance bump for a slightly nasal, buzzy edge, and a touch of glide between the sung phrases so it feels vocal-like. Slapback delay and plate reverb are the era's default treatment for a Scandinavian synth-pop lead sitting over a disco-adjacent groove.
